Well, I didn’t get the weed whacking done when I had hoped to, because the darned thing threw a rock at my storm door and shattered it. So, I spent my time trying to make sure that the safety glass fell DOWN, instead of out- and then trying to sweep up the mess.

For dinner, I had some leftover pasta from a couple days ago. I did have some cookies for dessert, but I counted them in my calorie count for the day. Instead of searching through the house for snacks after that, I took myself back outside to do more yard work. I whacked most of our weeds, until I ran out of trimmer line. Then I started pulling some by hand. I really need to remember to use gloves for that. I even brought out my manual push-mower, and I cut the front and side grass. Tomorrow, I will have to de-clutter the backyard and cut the grass back there too. That can be my exercise for the day.

All in all, I came in at 1,236 calories for the day. I have two more glasses of water to get in before I got to bed, but that shouldn’t be difficult. I took ten larger glass beads, and I set them on the window sill, next to an empty glass. Every time that I drink a cup of water, I toss a bead in the glass. It makes it easier to keep track of how well I am doing with getting that water down.
